Tyrod Taylor An Unappealing Option In Week 1

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor will take on the Jaguars in his first action as the starting signal-caller for his new team.

The dual-threat quarterback offered […]

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard is projected to lead the team in catches in 2021, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN. "The connection with quarterback Daniel Jones was working," said Raanan.

Yan Gomes Collects RBI In Win Versus ChiSox

Oakland Athletics catcher Yan Gomes went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a win versus the White Sox on Wednesday.
